So this 32 GTST I bought has a KKR430 on it.

a few months after owning it, it wouldn't boost past 10psi.

Unplugged the actuator today, car boosts just fine, thought I might've had a boost leak etc, but it looks like the actuator is stuffed.

Don't really want to buy another KKR actuator, as Google tells me they're shit at the best of times.

Can I frankenstein a different actuator on to this turbo? maybe buy a standard rb20 one 2nd hand?

Just make a bracket off the turbo so the actuator mounts, match the actuator rod lengths and its all good?

I run an EBC, so don't really care about the base actuator boost level.

Have u tried a different boost controller ie a manual bleed valve to see if its definately the actuator?

my mate just suggested that too.

he reckons to double check the lines from the solenoid, and to try a bleed valve.

will try that first!

It means its a soft 7psi actuator. and if its doing 10psi means its well doing whats its made to do.

I have 20psi actuator that are direct bolton for this turbocharger. PM if interested of killing it faster.

sorry, I dont quite understand. Its run 20psi before, what has caused it to change to not go past 10?

dont really mind if I kill it faster, plan to bin this junk turbo and get a highflow or 2530 once I've fixed a few other things first.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
